Friday, Four Seasons and AAA announced that the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, an official Disney-themed hotel, achieved the only five-star rating in Orlando from AAA.

With that in mind, I looked over the stories we've written about the Four Seasons, from my interview with the company founder to former colleage Jim Stratton's story on the luxury features.

Prices at the hotel when it opened this summer were no lower than $545. A current check of the website shows prices being offered at $450 per night.

The $370 million resort has a full-service spa, a golf course, tennis courts, splash zone, family pool, adults-only pool and a kids camp that is free to guests; 1,000-pound starburst chandelier imported from the Czech Republic; marble bathrooms — which include an in-mirror television — and twice-daily housekeeping service.

Isadore Sharp, founder of the Four Seasons, said in my interview he is still involved in the concept and aesthetics of his new hotels, and how it functions, but relies on the expertise of the designers for decor. The investor/owners still have a say in public sculpture. He said he respects the Disney brand.

The resort also features unique Disney aspects like character breakfasts, a Disney Planning Center, and same-day delivery of Disney merchandise to the room.
